Patty Lowell

Patty Lowell is a young girl who acts as a supporting character Devil May Cry: The Animated Series.

Description
Patty is very girly and loves cute things; one time she is shown decorating Dante's otherwise gloomy office with ribbons and plush toys. She loves romantic TV shows and serves as Dante's source of feminine influence in the absence of Trish and Lady. She also serves as a little sister for Dante, and often pesters Dante for things he owes her.

Story
Patty is a young, orphaned girl who was told she was the illegitimate daughter of a very wealthy and powerful man, and is now the heiress to his great fortune. She first meets Dante when he is hired to protect her on a journey from the orphanage to the mansion where she is to receive her inheritance. Along the way, they are hunted by various demons, all of which Dante manages to dispatch. Once the pair reaches the mansion, however, they learn that Patty was actually a decoy used by the real heiress- an older woman, also named Patty Lowell. After Dante disposes of the demon who sent the others to kill Patty, she expresses remorse for putting a young girl in that kind of danger, and offers to raise her. However, Patty chooses to return with Dante; her care presumably paid for, at least in part, by the other Patty Lowell.

During her time with Dante, she would often clean for him and when not doing that would watch the shop for him while he was away. When she wasn't doing that she apparently took trips around the town or worked at the orphanage as a cook. Also during her time she would often make bets with Dante in games of pool and cards with Patty winning and Dante owing her things such as ice cream and clothes which were given to her eventually.

Towards the end of her time with Dante, Patty finds her birth mother and learns she is the descendant of a powerful magician who had once sealed away the demon Abigail. However, Patty has an amulet that Sid needs in order to complete the ritual to summon Abigail and obtain her power. Sid uses Patty's mother as leverage to get what he wants, and manages to complete the ritual. When Dante dives into the portal created by the ritual, he ends up impaled by his own sword and hanging helplessly from a cross. Patty enters the portal herself and manages to wake Dante from his stupor, and Dante goes on to defeat Abigail. Ultimately, Patty leaves Dante's office, which had become her part-time home, to live with her birth mother. However, she does not forget about Dante and starts cleaning his normally messy office when he's out.

This should be parsed down, and should be in story
In the first episode, Dante is hired to protect Patty after she supposedly came into a large inheritance. This turned out to be a sham orchestrated by the true inheritor, whose name was also Patty Lowell and used the little girl as a decoy so there would be no attempts to kill her. She has since been spending a lot of time with Dante, whether he likes it or not. She finds an opera singer that Patty thinks is her mother, however she was actually a demon in disguise and the whole opera was an ambush by the demons. Fortunately, Dante arrives just in time to kill all the demons (previously shooting down a curtain) as the show was "adults only", although she witnesses the battle between Dante and the demon targeting Patty Lowell which she defines as "Not for children".

She has a very small role in episode 2, where she has a brief dialogue with Lady, whom she just met her for the first time, and an argument with Dante about the decoration of his shop. She also briefly appears at the end of the episode.

In episode 3 she has another small role, first complaining about the broken TV and that she will miss her favourite soap opera "Spring Romance" and ask Morrison for help to repair the TV. At the end of the episode Morrison fixes the TV and Patty can watch her episode.

She is seen at the middle of episode 4 complaining about Dante not buying her clothes (as he promised when she defeated him in a card game). At the end of the episode she has bought the clothes herself and brings the bill to Dante, hoping he won´t get mad.

In episode 5 she is seen scaring a Dante-stalker (a man who is jealous because his love interest told him to be "a little more like Dante"). She later mentions it to Dante proudly.

In episode 6 she inquires Dante about an old LP he has and asks why he never plays it. At the end of the episode she sees the LP again in much better conditions while she is cleaning. When she looks at Dante he just says "My tribute to the Queen of Rock". Also in this episode at the beginning, Patty acts as a small narrative telling the story that is very similar to "The Little Mermaid".

Episode 7: She beats Dante at poker, who owes her 3 strawberry sundaes now (9 ice cream in the Japanese sub). At the end of the episode Dante tries to negotiate, but she refuses citing the same words as the wish bringer seen before.

Patty is absent in episode 8 and reappears at episode 9 with more screen time; she complains at Dante losing all the time in playing poker during his assignment, and goes as far as trying to take his place in the table. At the end she is terrified when Lady shoots Dante through the heart but is relieved to see he is still alive and it was all plotted by Dante, Morrison, and Lady. The pocket watch Dante received from the invitation to the game revealed to have been a charm that transformed the wearer into "King", a demon possessed person with extremely high luck but the amulet also kills anyone who loses against the wearer. Patty wore the watch as it catched her eye and tried to shoot Dante saying "This is a bet Dante. Who dies? You? Or me?" However Lady and Dante managed to take the amulet from her and she comes back to her former self.

At episode 10 she befriends Modeus and invites her to come to Devil May Cry for a special strawberry sundae. The next day, after Dante killed Modeus he tells her that he isn´t coming. When she asks why Dante replies that Modeus had forgotten the promise.

Patty plays a major role in the last 2 episodes; at the beginning of the episode she has an argument with Dante when he unintentionally asks about her parents. Upset that she doesn't have any parents, she runs away. She is eventually reunited with her mother, but while doing so she accidentally frees the demon Abigail, with Sid tricking her into ding so. Patty escapes the building with Morrison, and makes amends with her mother. Patty then comes back inside the hotel to search for Dante, and manages to find him in the demon world impaled by his own sword. She cries for him and begs him to open his eyes, also mentioning how much she enjoyed living with him. However Sid appears and drags her back to the human world, where she is now surrounded by demons. She cries Dante's name and he appears to save her, while still being impaled by Rebellion. Despite the joy she dismays upon seeing Dante still impaled, she faints and is evacuated by Morrison while Dante fights and eventually kills Sid. She reappears at the end of the episode complaining about the mess in Devil May Cry since she left, and starts cleaning while Dante is out on a job.-->
